This is definitely planned.

1. It's in the spec. It's a binary64 double.

2. These are schema and app concerns. Schema is something I plan to tackle.

Git config indeed isn't TOML, but it's the same trick; a newline adds a section header in any line-oriented config.

TOML needs quotes too. But if you forget them, TOML nests silently, while SOML errors.

I have updated the readme to make these things more clear.

"exactly as written" was wrong for the value. Only the type is. The spec already says a float is IEEE 754 binary64, same as JSON. Fixed the readme.

I have plans for some kind of schema support.

Hey all. I'm the one working on this (a human). It's still early. It's something I have been wanting for many years, but I never had the time to invest in it until now.

It's already powering the frontmatter of my website: https://github.com/sindresorhus/sindresorhus.github.com/blob...

It's created by a human, me. All decisions are human-made. I obviously used AI to help double-check all the work and improve the writing.

The app just triggers AirDrop. AirDrop itself is provided by macOS.

I'm sindresorhus. I collaborate well with people on GitHub every day. My GitHub activity is open and anyone can take a look if they doubt it. If you are going to make personal attacks, at least include some proof.

Like OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code, this one is also built with Ink, React for the terminal.

Re:Paste as Plain Text by Default on Tuesday May 28, 2024 @07:33PM (#40506705)
Why not just use the Paste and Match Style menu item or ⌥⇧⌘V?

- This app can make it the default behavior. - That menu item is not available in all apps. - The keyboard shortcut is hard to remember and type. - In some apps, like Chrome, the keyboard shortcut is different. - This app can exclude certain apps, preserve links, and also remove tracking parameters from URLs.

It could indeed be faster. The app does not currently use the neural engine (ANE) because it has a tendency to crash the app, so it uses only CPU and GPU. The app also does upscaling, which adds ~10 seconds.
